NEW YORK, May 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Thesis Fund Management, LLC, a New York based registered investment advisor and manager of the Thesis Flexible Fund (TFLEX), announced today that Jay Rosoff has joined registered broker dealer Point Capital Markets, LLC as Managing Director of Distribution for the Thesis Flexible Fund. Mr. Rosoff will coordinate distribution of the Thesis Flexible Fund, managed by Thesis Fund Management, LLC and former hedge fund manager Stephen Roseman. The Thesis Flexible Fund employs a long/short multi-asset class strategy that seeks to provide advisors with a product that employs diversification and a lower correlation to the equity markets to help create a risk adjusted portfolio for clients.

"The addition of Jay to the Thesis distribution team is further evidence of the growing importance of alternative style mutual funds for advisors and their clients," said Stephen Roseman, portfolio manager and CEO of Thesis Fund Management. "Jay's proven track record and success will help us continue to build momentum for this product within the investment community."

Mr. Rosoff spent over ten years with Allianz Global Investors. While at Allianz he served as the national sales manager for the Independent, Bank and Regional division from 2006 to 2010.

"Financial advisors are beginning to understand the importance of allocating assets to an alternative strategy," said Mr. Rosoff. "The Flexible Fund offers investors and financial advisors access to the same type of sophisticated investment strategies that hedge funds use, in a regulated, no load mutual fund format without the lock-up, lack of transparency and fee structures commonly associated with traditional hedge fund investing. We are looking forward to introducing this valuable product to more and more advisors and their clients."

Foreign investments present additional risks due to currency fluctuations, economic and political factors, lower liquidity and other factors.

Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including that the fund's losses are potentially unlimited.
